There isn’t a better way to get the glimpse of the Georgian lifestyle than to actually choose to stay in Sighnaghi. Sighnaghi is a beautiful small town in the east of Georgia, hidden between green trees and beautiful landscapes. It is probably one of the smallest cities in the country, having only around 3000 inhabitants. So, if you are looking for a picturesque and quiet place to enjoy your visit in the country, this is the place to consider. There is also something nostalgic about Sighnaghi, still, having numerous facades of old buildings and churches, parts of the city appearing like being frozen in a different era. Traditions are still very much alive here, since the city’s economy is mainly based on the making of wine and traditional Georgian carpets. Truly, it is an incredible and very interesting place to see.
